So psyched for @hadestown to begin. Saw it off broadway 4 years ago and finally made it here after a long work slog
Update: Omg that was awesome. Near perfect. Only since one musical better in my life and that was written by living Shakespeare. Run run run to see it if you can.
Seen not since

Another big question: Rep. Lasko (republican) just asked about this:
Lieu: "The reason you did not indict Donald Trump... is because of the OLC decision. Is that correct?"
Mueller: "That is correct."
Lasko says this contradicts what Mueller earlier said 1/
, that Mueller said on May 29 that he wasn't saying we would have indicted if there was no OLC opinion.
Mueller did not take back what he said to Lieu. If he doesn't take it back, will be big news: despite all his guardrails, Mueller saying he would have indicted but-for OLC op
Would mean the Democrats talking point, that if anyone else but Donald Trump acted this way they'd be in jail, is right.

Excellent questioning (finally) by @tedlieu. He took the individual items on p97 of the Report and showed how it all lays out a full and complete crime. This may sound complicated, with 3 elements and the like, but everyone needs to understand what just happened.
Mueller just ended by saying he didn't necessarily subscribe to what Lieu "was saying." But there is no explanation at all of how or where Lieu's analysis was questionable. And indeed the Report lays out the case, in its own words.
The basic thing page 97 outlines is obstruction of justice b/c Trump tried to get Sessions to unrecuse&end Mueller investigation of Trump. There are 3 elements:obstructive act, criminal intent+ nexus to an official proceeding. @tedlieu effectively got Mueller to say each of 3 met

In a new letter,DOJ is trying to dictate what Mueller can talk about, claiming anything not in public report is privileged. But as I just wrote in @nytimes, Barr himself has said--since Mueller turned in report--Mueller could say if Trump committed crimes. nytimes.com/2019/07/22/opi…
The letter isn't even signed by a high ranking DOJ official, and it certainly doesn't take back what Barr said Mueller was able to do. DOJ now appears scared and resorting to their old playbook. Given their prior gross distortions of what Mueller found, hard to give credence here
The whole tone of letter is bizarrely adversarial, not a way to treat a former FBI Director. For example, the line re DOJ doesn't generally let prosecutors "such as you" from testifying ridic-Mueller not ordinary prosecutor. For starters, he can't indict a Pres, only Cong can act

Interesting.. a British tanker in the Persian Gulf has come to a complete stop. Would expect it to start heading south but as of now it's completely stopped.

Boat is the PACIFIC VOYAGER, image of the ship and it's location compared to Iran seen below.
Don't panic or anything, I'm going to monitor this until it makes another movement.
#UPDATE: Boat still stopped, it's status is officially stopped instead of underway using engine. It's at 0.5 knts as of now.

There was this tweet from @GreatGameIndia about tests done on samples of table and cooking salt from 2 Indian companies / brands - Tata Salt and Sambhar Salt. Apparently they contained 'high' levels of Potassium Ferrocyanide. (#OMG, ferrocyanide? why arent we all dying?!!?)
The report in GGINews, an online newspaper, quoted a certain Shiv Shankar Gupta, Chairman of Godhum Grains & Farms Products, that the test by America West Analytical Laboratories (AWAL) showed 4.71 mg/kg in Sambhar Salt and 1.85 mg/kg in Tata's product.
Apparently the story was picked up by IANS and carried by several outlets. I saw it retweeted by @PragyaTiwari I had previously received a #WhatsApp forward in family group rife with fake news.
I smelled something fake about it and decided to look into it.

Before I was a Fed government employee, I worked in the food stamp office for the state of Indiana.

As a case manager i was told to “look away” accept ANY ID that I was given from illegal Mexicans who wanted Food stamps and Medicaid.

IF I REPORTED ILLEGALS, I WOULD BE FIRED.
Since we had such massive case loads of over 700 per worker, we were told to “expedite” any cases that involved migrants (illegals).

I was forced to “expedite” cases of illegals with NO IDENTIFICATION.

If I questioned it, I could be terminated
The rare times they offered ID was usually borrowed from a fellow Mexican who didn’t even have the same last name.

#UPDATE: Trump announced he was withdrawing troops from Syria, on the same day that the Treasury Dept announced they were lifting sanctions off of Oleg Deripaska's companies.

We can be pretty sure BOTH were discussed in Helsinki.

#WhatHappenedInHelsinki?
#BREAKING: “Trump has gone to extraordinary lengths to conceal details of his conversations w/Putin, including...taking possession of his interpreter’s notes and instructing him not to discuss what had transpired w/other officials”

#REDFLAG: "U.S. officials said there is NO DETAILED RECORD, even in classified files, of Trump's face-to-face interactions with Putin at FIVE locations over the past two years. Such a gap would be unusual in any presidency..."

LIFE HAPPENS | “Sho, do you cook?”, my date asked. I replied jauntily, “I used to but not anymore. I now have access to a chef and can afford to order what I like eating.” #Thread #Life #Relationships
My date followed up by asking, “If your boyfriend asked you to cook for him, would you?” I grinned, as I realised my date was sadly playing from a script. I replied, “I don’t have a guy I like who’s asking me to cook, so I can’t say.”
I think my date thought I was being coy. But, I wasn’t. I was just being honest. A while ago, I decided to deal in reality and not hypotheticals. I have tried and failed to control life. All my effort got me was an anxiety problem and therapy.
